Receiving orders to command the newly minted USS Magellan, a Yeager Class Scout ship, Serran ran the ship through it's paces on a cadet/shakedown cruise with crew made up of 'Red Squad' cadets from Starfleet Academy. The ship performed excellently, and she was given the task of taking her out to Pioneer Outpost where she would be assigned a new crew and report for new orders from Rear Admiral Jal, the Field Commander of the Expeditionary Group based at the new Starfleet outpost.
An emergency call up to duty had the Magellan half-crewed but joining an armada drawn together to face the threat of a Borg 'Megasphere'. The Scout ship played an important role getting up close to the enemy and Zan took bold decisions to get in, drop off teams assigned to gather information and to sabotage the huge structure's shields, pick the team's survivors up, and get the Magellan out as the Starfleet armada pounded the Borg vessel. Unfortunately the enemy opened up a transwarp portal and vanished before it could be destroyed. Serran was proud of her crew that day, and of the role they had played.
Her actions earned her Cross of Gallantry medal and a new starship.
'''USS Callisto, RSV-88001'''.
A newly launched Luna Class starship, equipped with the new transwarp drive, was attached to Pioneer Project to travel to the Delta Quadrant and search for the origins of the Borg and their Megasphere, with the added goal of finding the old lost starship USS Voyager. Unfortunately the transwarp drive failed and the ship dropped to normal space too soon. Damage to the ship superstructure caused buckling to the bulkhead above the Bridge, which collapsed and crushed Zan beneath. She suffered a severe head injury and remained in a coma while medical staff tried to treat her.
Unable to be treated completely while out in the Delta Quadrant, Serran was transported back to Starfleet Medical and spent many months under medical care. The damage to her brain completely healed, but upon regaining consciousness it was clear that she had lost a lot of her memories. Complicating matters, the symbiont Zan pushed forward other host memories in place of those of the Serran host. Effectively she didn't know who she was, which of the hosts were her own personality and which memories belonged to her.
Taken back to the Trill homeworld, she then entered the care of the Trill Symbiosis Commission. The experts there tried to heal the link between Serran and Zan, and the hosts that preceded her Joining. In the year that followed she lived in the family home of Rear Admiral Kinziri Jal, and helped staff work the orchards. Memories from previous host Tallen, who lived as a farmer on Trill during the Dominion War, gave Serran purpose while she and her doctors came up with a solution to her situation. To begin with, medical doctors expected the retrograde amnesia to heal itself within six to nine months. When that didn't happen Serran began to think hard about what she was to do with her life. Guardians of the Symbiont Pools taught her to connect with her past hosts and their memories and experiences, but still her own memories of the last decade of her life were just not there.
One thing that did come back to her through procedural, 'muscle' memory, was her intuitive ability and love for flying, for piloting shuttles like past host Rikka, but also starships like the Ticonderoga as Serran. With her memories of being Captain Zan of the Callisto seemingly gone forever, she made up her mind to at least be Serran Zan the pilot and not to waste any more of her life waiting around for some magical fix to restore her mind.
Returning to Starfleet she re-qualified as a pilot and refreshed her knowledge and procedures of the Tactical department, then awaited assignment...
